All That Memes

Engaging shadowy darkness again,

The captain of an enterprise

                         considered hope abandoned

When alien forms of plasma

                         ate the narrow bridge

That crossed the expanse of expression

                         for creatures somewhat like you,

Reluctantly daring to accept

                         the loss of a time of legends

To certain assimilation.

                         Seven rings’ burdens

Weighed upon the crew,

                         as the Watchers awakened to the ruse.

Red alert commences

                         as reactor cores heat

Beyond the melting point

                         of yellow dragons’ gold.

“Make it so,” commands

                         the man on the granite bridge,

And we shall simply walk.
